Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)

"A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five."
(Groucho Marx )

"And the lamb and the wolf shall lie down together, but the lamb won't get any sleep" (Woody Allen)

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)

Good soil for Wayward Seed? There's a sad fact that needs to be addressed. Far more seed has been lost by the Church than has been allowed to flourish.

I speak, of course, in the context of the Parable of the Sower. Surely the time has come for a conservation campaign, for a rescue mission to ensure that as much seed as possible is nourished and nurtured and allowed to reach full potential?

In short, people need, as never before, to be thoroughly saved from a World that is going to the dogs.

The Parable shows us the three ways that the flame of faith lit by the first spark of understanding of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ can be extinguished. It can be flicked out at source, it can be smothered through a lack of depth or it can be quenched through worldly concerns.

All three are currently prevalent and it is my contention that all three are generally not adequately dealt with by today's Church ... more ...

A Satisfied Customer (12th March 2008)
"Wow! I only ordered it yesterday and it's here already! Thank you so much for your prompt reply. If Steve's other two books in this trilogy are anything to go by then I am guaranteed a most enjoyable and edifying read. Words cannot express the joy and encouragement I received from reading each of the first two books and I have been recommending them both to everyone I meet (as the opportunity arises). I am now about to 'devour' the third book (probably within a matter of days) and I will then enthusiastically advocate this one, along with the other two. Needless to say, based on his previous books, Steve already has a 'perfect 10' for this one too". (Simonline)

Jesus, Man of Many Names
A fresh understanding, from the dawn of time to the end of days
the land of many names

Are you prepared for a new book about Jesus that does offer fresh insights without boasting new revelations? Drawing on sources from the Jewish world, ancient and modern, the author will take you on an exhilarating, lively and entertaining exploration of the life and times of the Jewish Messiah.

Jesus, Man of Many Names by Steve Maltz, is published by Authentic Lifestyle for £8. ISBN 1-86024-624-1.

In this journey you will meet the Memra, the Angel of the LORD, Yeshua ben Yosef, the Christ, Bar Anash, Yeshu HaNotzri, Mashiach ben David. What do they all have in common - they are all names of Jesus, used by different people at different times - even by Jesus himself.

When was the last time you picked up a book on theology and read it from cover to cover? This could be the one.

If you have asked any of the following questions, then this book will help:
  • How involved was Jesus in the creation of the universe?
  • What did Jesus do before his incarnation?
  • How can Jewish People not see Jesus as the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies?
  • How Jewish was Jesus?
  • What exactly did Jesus do to make the religious leaders so angry?
  • What was so special about Jesus' teaching methods?
  • What title did Jesus most use for himself and why?
  • What was the biggest mistake ever made and how was it covered up?
  • How was the real Jesus hidden from ordinary Jews for nearly 1500 years?
  • How did some Jews find Jesus against all the odds?
  • Who is going to be really surprised when Jesus returns?
"The book is a real eye-opener. I really do believe I have been privileged to review an important book - an extraordinary tour de force. Unquestionably this book will make a massive contribution to current thinking about Jesus at a time when both His humanity and divinity are being questioned." Chris Hill, author, broadcaster and international Bible teacher.

the land of many names

The Land of Many Names by Steve Maltz, is published by Authentic Lifestyle for £8. ISBN 1-86024-287-1.

 

IT'S THE BOOK THAT HAS SWEPT THOUSANDS INTO A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF SUCH A THORNY AND CONFUSING SITUATION.

"I have spent over 50 years of independent research into this vital field of prophecy and your brilliant book has excited me so much in mind and spirit that I have found it difficult to put it down. My hope and prayer is that it will get the success it certainly deserves - for His holy name's sake" (David Lowe, Judaeo-Christian Fellowship, Barnsley)

So much heat has been generated by the subject of Israel and Palestine. It's a subject that will not go away and it is crucial that Christians should have a clear grasp of both the spiritual and historical issues involved.

This is a lively, entertaining and provocative introduction to the subject for ordinary Christians. The author takes you on a historical journey of the Land of Many Names, from the Canaan of Abraham to the Promised Land, by way of the Land of Milk and Honey, Israel and Judah, Judea and Samaria, Palestine, The Holy Land, Zion, Israel and 'The Zionist Entity'. At each stage we pause to consider what God is saying to all concerned and, in some places, awkward questions are also asked of the reader.

This is an easy read but it is not a comfortable book.

'God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth' (John 4:24).


'Steve Maltz has an evident gift for explaining complex historical issues in a simple and conversational manner, and he is to be commended for such an easily read and yet comprehensive overview of this vital period. Christians and non-Christians alike are urged to read and then rethink this whole matter.' Derek White, Founder, Christian Friends of Israel

'I believe that this book is long overdue and will challenge all who read it to recognize that God is alive and active in Israel and with the Jewish people. Steve Maltz argues his case well. It's guaranteed to provoke - it's meant to!' Julia Fisher, writer and broadcaster

Excerpts from this book are available as an article, Plain man's guide to the Middle East conflict, available here.


The People of Many Names
Towards a clearer understanding of the miracle of the Jewish people
the people of many names

 

The People of Many Names by Steve Maltz, is published by Authentic Lifestyle for £8. ISBN 1-86024-527-7.

 

 

This is a lively, entertaining and provocative introduction to the People of Many Names, from early beginnings in the Old Testament as the ‘Children of Promise’ and a ‘Kingdom of Priests’, then as the people of ‘Galut’ (Exile), where they were denigrated as ‘Christ killers’, ‘Dhimmis’ and ‘Conspirators of Zion’.

 

 


REVIEWS | PREFACE | INTRODUCTION | PROLOGUE | CONTENTS

The Jews are a mystery to most, provoking a whole range of questions.

  • Who are they?
  • How have they survived for so long?
  • Why have they been so feared or hated by so many people for so many reasons?
  • What is their relevance to Christians?
This book attempts to give clear answers to these questions and helps the reader to understand the spiritual significance for both Christians and Jews.

We view their accomplishments, despite the hostility that surrounded them, including the horrors of the Holocaust, and conclude our story in the New Testament, as the natural branches of God’s olive tree.

This is an easy read but it is not a comfortable book.

‘Steve Maltz writes unashamedly as a Jewish believer in Jesus and for this reason is able to bring some very challenging insights into the Jewish people, both past and present.Derek White, founder of Christian Friends of Israel

‘Steve gives a fast paced, witty but both insightful and perceptive framework for his readers to gain a meaningful overview of the Jewish people and their relationship with God and the Nations.Fred Wright, author and Director of Chesed

‘I think it's brilliant, inspired, a great read, of interest to both Jews and Christians, a breath of fresh air – and timely! What more can I say!Julia Fisher, writer and broadcaster


The Truth is Out There
The Ultimate World Conspiracy. Who really is pulling the strings?
the truth is out there

The Truth is Out There by Steve Maltz, is published by Authentic Lifestyle for £7. ISBN 1-86024-573-0.

We love intrigues and mysteries, don't we? Conspiracies are big news. The media industry loves them because we love them, but how much truth do they represent? Don't you want to know what really is going on, who really is pulling the strings in our World today? Wouldn't it be a refreshing change to be presented with the real truth?

Is history just a random sequence of events, or are there secret manipulations? What makes us tick? How did the World as we see it come to be? In this short book we will be delving below the surface of our existence on this planet, glimpsing at the possibilities beyond the daily routines of just getting on with life. The conspiracy we uncover has tentacles in all spheres of human life, so where it leads we will follow. We will be taken into areas of science, history, human behaviour, popular culture, religion and little green men. Read this book if you are prepared to be challenged.
